Gullies and drains

As part of our responsibility for sweeping the roads, we are also responsible for ensuring the drains and gullies remain free from waste on the surface. Blocked gullies can lead to an increase in surface flooding.

To request street sweeping please email info@southribble.gov.uk or call 01772 625625.
